For Bulk Orders Call: 626-441-2024  Description and Reviews From The Publisher: While many books focus on developing managerial competencies, most leadership failures are the result of a failure in character, not a failure in competence. But, just like how you don’t get in shape by reading a fitness magazine, you don’t become a Leader of Character by reading a book on Character. You have to DO what you want to BE! Leaders of Character is a “workout plan” designed to develop six Habits of Character by providing small, daily exercises that strengthen your character muscles for the bigger character tests all leaders face. Reviews "Wow! What a book - in fact, THE book that should be on every modern leader's desk...I promise you'll be writing in the margins and highlighting pages as you reflect on the habits you need to change." —Jeb Blount, best selling author of People Follow You. "Becoming a Leader of Character is an uncomplicated approach to developing a leader's most important leadership tool - character." —Joe DePinto, President and CEO, 7-Eleven Inc. "Breaking away from the numbing array of authors dealing with character and leadership, the Andersons - father and son - not only define what character is and show why it is essential in leaders, they also describe how it is developed." —Lieutenant General David Palmer, USA Retired, Former Superintendent, United States Military Academy at West Point "When fresh voices put a new perspective on something and still make it accessible to all of us, I stop and pay attention." —Karen Dillon, former Editor of the Harvard Business Review and author of New York Times best-seller How Will You Measure Your Life.
